Sooty — 5-Year-Old Dartmoor Pony

Sooty is a lovely 12hh 5-year-old Dartmoor pony looking for his next special home.

Such a sweet boy who genuinely enjoys his work and has given my son so much confidence. He is only being offered for sale because, unfortunately, I’m struggling to give him the time and attention he deserves.

Sooty can be a little nervous with new people, which is understandable for a young pony, but once he trusts you, you’re away! He can also be a bit of a cheeky monkey to catch, but with a consistent routine he is absolutely fine.

He has a good amount of experience for his age and has:

Hunted

Done fun rides

Hacked alone and in company

Been schooled

Been a fantastic confidence-giver

Been great on the lead rein

He is happy living with mares or geldings and lives out happily. He is an extremely easy keeper and quite literally survives on fresh air!

Sooty is good with the farrier on his front feet, although he is still unsure about having his backs done. He has good feet and will pick them up — this is simply something he is still learning to be comfortable with.

He is a lovely, genuine young pony with plenty of potential for someone who is willing to build a relationship with him and continue his education. He has a cheeky side and can be nervous with new people, so he needs a patient, kind home that will give him the consistency and time he deserves.

A very special little pony who has done so much for my son and will be sadly missed.
